Sorry to be bouncing back and forth but these are photos from the famous Peter and Paul Church on the north bank of the Niva River in St. Petersburg. Its steeple is one of the most recognizable in the area and for many centuries.It is now the home of Catherine the Great and many other members of Russian Nobeltry.
Note the donation box. It is unlikely that it will walk off easily.
This is a very beautiful church and well worth the visit. I purchased a pair of cut-glass tea vessels that have their own siver and gold caddies and spoons and that are traditionally used on trains and in special places to serve tea. They are for our anniversary this year and hopefully we will be able to use them on a Baltic Cruise that we are planning for next summer of fall to celebrate our fortieth anniversary next year.
Stay tuned for details as we will be looking for people to join us in the trip and celebration that will take us to St. Petersburg for at least two days during the cruise. We will keep you posted on plans.
